lauraborealis said... (9/12/12 7:07 PM)ReplyThe thread o3b is referring to is: http://sewing.patternreview.com/cgi-bin/sewingclasses/board.pl?t=16164. I'd like to know, too! The V is the last remaining fit problem I have with pants... it drives me crazy! Also wondering what software program is being referred to in that thread... that HotPatterns drafts from. But, as for your pants - fantastic! I love the leopard version - you look so stylish.

BetsyV said... (11/1/08 11:11 PM)ReplyJusts thought I would mention HP has NOT changed the zipper instructions. I bought this pattern about 6 months ago and it's still backwards/inconsistent with left/right. Very confusing.

DaisyEsq said... (11/1/08 8:36 PM)ReplyThank you for a thorough review. It's such a good idea to change your TNT to any style you want.

o3b said... (8/15/08 5:23 AM)ReplyNancy - Can you show the changes you made to the front crotch? I was reading in a thread by you about the "upside-down-V-below-the-zipper-thing" when you were working on another pair of these pants. I have that same problem right now and I spend hours looking at the pattern and doing nothing b/c I am stumped by what changes, exactly, to make. PFRP "crotch bubble" - I must not be doing it right, and I do think I need to straighten the CF. I also have a short front crotch length and leftover baby belly, and have adjusted the angle of CF back to about 5 degrees after shortening the height.

SarahWeb said... (4/15/08 10:25 AM)ReplyNancy, you look stunning in these pants and the total outfits you put together.

Nancywin said... (4/15/08 2:04 AM)ReplyThanks for this review. I have this pattern and haven't tried it yet. I may have to move it up on my list.

GollyGolly said... (4/14/08 11:45 PM)ReplyHow great to have that go to pants pattern ! They can be such a bear to fit and I am sure you must adore having this HP pants pattern which works so well for you.

HawkeMorningStar7 said... (4/14/08 11:16 PM)ReplyLove all your pants, they work so well in your wardrobe. Great to find a super fitting pant!

kathi s said... (4/14/08 6:39 PM)ReplyGreat looking pants! I love the vertical stripes with the bias detail at the pocket. With some trepidation (I am a timid sewist who needs lots of instruction), I may try this Hot Patterns pants pattern because of your great review.

Marji said... (4/14/08 5:52 PM)ReplyNice pants. I like what you did with the stripes on the pocket welt. And they work really well in the context of your wardrobe.

Flying Seamstress said... (4/14/08 5:25 PM)ReplyLove your pants! I've heard of the HP L shaped back crotch curve but never envisioned this...very interesting...is it sewn as shown in your photo? Definitely something I need to check out as I'm still trying to fit/sew the "perfect" pants. Thank you for the review!

Re Becca said... (4/14/08 5:21 PM)ReplyThese are great! Pants from tnt patterns and "create-your-own-pockets" make the hair pulling that goes with sewing worth while. Congrats on scoring the perfect pants pattern! PS. it looks great with that jacket!
